Can Cymbalta cause dime-sized red spots to appear on the body?

Can Cymbalta cause dime-sized red spots to appear on the body? I have one in the center of my chest that I believe may be because of this drug. I am also on Abilify and Lamictal. I only have the one spot (they are nowhere else on my body)

Is this a drug you have been on for awhile or is it new? The list of side effects for the skin is as follows:•severe skin reaction:- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.What you are describing does not seem like a rash, but if it starts to spread, I would most definately call your doctor about it...

Hello razielx34. I doubt it. However Mary did post the side effects in regards to rash etc. If you feel the need for a professionals point of view, ask your doctor, or pharmacist, they might offer you a second opinion. but in my case, I don't believe its anything to worry about. (I am not a doctor). Regards pledge

Is this life threatening or serious? Is it caused by any medication or diet?

I don't believe this is what you have as it would have spead to other places in four months. It doesn't sound like anything worry about, but have your doctor look at it the next time you see him. Try not to worry so much if it isn't bothering you, or isn't getting bigger in size, itching, sore, or anything else... Mary

No,not at all, it is a skin condition. Google it. It was just an idea, that is all. Mary is right, just show it to the doctor next time you go.

I would not get too concerned about it until you see our doctor next unless there are changes. Is it flaky at all? Do you have a fair complexion? Sometimes small red spots like this are a first sign of sqamous cell skin cancer, but you have not given any information that this would be it. They are usaully smaller, & very flaky, & rough feeling. If this is how it looks or feels, & you are out in the sun a lot, I would have it checked by your doctor. It's not a dagerous type of skin cancer, & is usually just burned off with a nitro stick. I have had many of these being a bikini sun worshipper years ago before they knew about these things. Be sure to keep it out of the sun for now tho' until you have it checked... Mary
